I was writing poems when I was young, you know, because my father was a poet, so it was absolutely normal to follow my father.

The movies I like are always movies where cinema is reinvented like if it was the beginning of cinema.

If New York is the Big Apple, tonight Hollywood is the Big Nipple.

A name? Oh, Jesus Christ. Ah, God, I've been called by a million names all my life. I don't want a name. I'm better off with a grunt or a groan for a name.

I am in love with the idea of doing a movie in 3D. I think 3D would be great for the story I want to do, in a realistic, normal story, using 3D on the emotions in a kind of intimate story.

New York has always embraced me.

This is something that I dream about: to live films, to arrive at the point at which one can live for films, can think cinematographically, eat cinematographically, sleep cinematographically, as a poet, a painter, lives, eats, sleeps painting.
